Episode 31: Live on RBN #21 (May 25, 2013)

Today on Traces of Reality Radio: During the first our of the show, we welcome back Bill Conroy, investigative journalist for Narco News. Having recently returned from a trip south of the border, Conroy fills us in on the latest on the drug war front, as it relates to Mexico’s shift in strategy under new president Peña Nieto. We discuss the rise in armed “vigilante groups” as a reaction to the surge in violence, the propaganda war being waged, and how the U.S government and the media play their role.

Also, during the second hour, Danny Benavides joins us once again for our semi-regular segment: TOR Week in Review. We tackle important issues and various news items and headlines that surfaced throughout the week, including Obama’s speech on Thursday, Eric Holder, Medea Benjamin and Code Pink, the latest on the Boston Bombing investigation, 3D printing, and much more.
